Coastal Print Vintage Ernst Haeckel Illustration Beach Poster Art 0484 – Jellyfish

Ernst Heinrich Philipp August Haeckel (16 February 1834 9 August 1919) was a German biologist, naturalist, philosopher, physician, professor, marine biologist, and artist who discovered, described and named thousands of new species, mapped a genealogical tree relating all life forms, and coined many terms in biology, including anthropogeny, ecology, phylum, phylogeny, stem cell, and Protista. Haeckel promoted and popularised Charles Darwin’s work in Germany and developed the influential but no longer widely held recapitulation theory (“ontogeny recapitulates phylogeny”) claiming that an individual organism’s biological development, or ontogeny, parallels and summarises its species’ evolutionary development, or phylogeny.

The published artwork of Haeckel includes over 100 detailed, multi-colour illustrations of animals and sea creatures . As a philosopher, Ernst Haeckel wrote Die Weltrtsel (18951899; in English: The Riddle of the Universe, 1901), the genesis for the term “world riddle” (Weltrtsel); and Freedom in Science and Teaching to support teaching evolution.Choose from a wide selection of print sizes.Some ageing and marks on the original postershave been left to add character to the print.
